I built an rdma-based volume out of 5 bricks: $ gluster volume info Volume Name: glrdma Type: Distribute Status: Started Number of Bricks: 6 Transport-type: rdma Bricks: Brick1: pbs1:/data2 Brick2: pbs2:/data2 Brick3: pbs3:/data2 Brick4: pbs3:/data Brick5: pbs4:/data Options Reconfigured: diagnostics.count-fop-hits: on diagnostics.latency-measurement: on and everything was working well. I then tried to add a TCP/socket brick to it, thinking that it would be refused, but gluster happily added it: $ gluster volume info Volume Name: glrdma Type: Distribute Status: Started Number of Bricks: 6 Transport-type: rdma Bricks: Brick1: pbs1:/data2 Brick2: pbs2:/data2 Brick3: pbs3:/data2 Brick4: pbs3:/data Brick5: pbs4:/data Brick6: dabrick:/data2 <-- TCP/socket brick Options Reconfigured: diagnostics.count-fop-hits: on diagnostics.latency-measurement: on However, not too suprisingly, there are problems when I tried to rebalance the added brick. It allowed me to start a rebalance/fix- layout, but it never ended and the logs continue to contain the following reports of 'connection refused' (see at bottom). Attempts to remove the TCP brick are unsuccessful, even after stopping the volume: $ gluster volume stop glrdma Stopping volume will make its data inaccessible. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y Stopping volume glrdma has been successful $ gluster volume remove-brick glrdma dabrick:/data2 Removing brick(s) can result in data loss. Do you want to Continue? (y/n) y Remove Brick unsuccessful (more errors citing missing 'option transport-type'. defaulting to "socket": [2011-12-13 10:34:57.241676] I [cli-rpc- ops.c:1073:gf_cli3_1_remove_brick_cbk] 0-cli: Received resp to remove brick [2011-12-13 10:34:57.241852] I [input.c:46:cli_batch] 0-: Exiting with: -1 [2011-12-13 10:46:08.937294] W [rpc- transport.c:606:rpc_transport_load] 0-rpc-transport: missing 'option transport-type'. defaulting to "socket" [2011-12-13 10:46:09.110636] I [cli-rpc- ops.c:417:gf_cli3_1_get_volume_cbk] 0-cli: Received resp to get vol: 0 [2011-12-13 10:46:09.110845] I [cli-rpc- ops.c:596:gf_cli3_1_get_volume_cbk] 0-: Returning: 0 [2011-12-13 10:46:09.111038] I [cli-rpc- ops.c:417:gf_cli3_1_get_volume_cbk] 0-cli: Received resp to get vol: 0 [2011-12-13 10:46:09.111070] I [cli-rpc- ops.c:596:gf_cli3_1_get_volume_cbk] 0-: Returning: 0 [2011-12-13 10:46:09.111080] I [input.c:46:cli_batch] 0-: Exiting with: 0 [2011-12-13 10:52:18.142283] W [rpc- transport.c:606:rpc_transport_load] 0-rpc-transport: missing 'option transport-type'. defaulting to "socket" And the rebalance operations now seem to be locked up, since the response to rebalance is nonsensical: (the commands were given serially, with no other intervening commands) $ gluster volume rebalance glrdma fix-layout start Rebalance on glrdma is already started $ gluster volume rebalance glrdma fix-layout status rebalance stopped $ gluster volume rebalance glrdma fix-layout stop stopped rebalance process of volume glrdma (after rebalancing 0 files totaling 0 bytes) $ gluster volume rebalance glrdma fix-layout start Rebalance on glrdma is already started Is there a way to back out of this situation? Or has incorrectly adding the TCP brick permanently hosed the volume? And does this imply a bug in the add-brick routine? (hopefully fixed?)
